Across 19 matches Costelow shows a notably high defensive workload for a fly half, averaging over five tackles per game with a peak of 13 in a single outing — figures that point to genuine defensive involvement rather than a sheltered role. His carrying numbers are modest but consistent, suggesting he functions as a distributor who picks his moments to gain ground rather than a primary ball-carrier. The overall picture is of a ten who earns his minutes through reliability across both phases of play.
